End China's Human Rights Abuses in Tibet Before the 2008 Olympics
Target: Jacques Rogge, International Olympic Committee PresidentSponsored by: Care2.com
Although China is known around the world for violating human rights in Tibet, the International Olympic Committee chose Beijing as the site for the 2008 Summer Olympic Games.
Tens of thousands of Tibetans have been forced to leave their homeland due to the brutal Chinese occupation.
China's current policy toward Tibet includes:
Let China know that its successful Olympic bid does NOT mean the world sanctions its mistreatment of Tibetans! CALL ON CHINA TO END HUMAN RIGHTS ABUSES IN TIBET.
Tens of thousands of Tibetans have been forced to leave their homeland due to the brutal Chinese occupation.
China's current policy toward Tibet includes:
- Imprisoning and torturing Tibetans who speak out against the Chinese occupation of Tibet;
- Violating religious freedoms, including abducting one of Tibet's most important religious figures when he was only six years old. The boy has not been seen since 1995;
- Failing to provide adequate education and health care to Tibetan children, and to eradicate child malnutrition and preventable illnesses; and
- Enforcing laws that discriminate against Tibetan identity, culture, and religion.

Mr. Rogge... You have the chance to make big differences within your grasp. You have a country that will be hosting the Olympics. They have been oppressing Tibet for years. They are detaining Canadians without acknowleding their Canadian citizenship. Please use your leverage to end Human Right's abuses in China.... Believe me, your soul and those who's life and loved ones you save will thank you!

I'm not sure if this really happened but somebody told me that they were wearing olive military drab and red of Boy Scouts uniform at a Chinese take-out joint and the women at counter looked scared and gave him extra chicken fingers with wide eyes and fast movements.

It would be the height of hypocrisy to allow China to CONTINUE with its violation of Human Rights in Tibet, as well as its disregard and destruction of the Environment and wildlife there. Please RESCIND your awarding of the Olympic Torch to Beijing, unless IMMEDIATE remedial action is taken by China! China should NOT be holding a young Tibetan child as a POLITICAL PRISONER, for one thing!!!
